Hi,
An attribute-set's attributes are evaluated for each instance of it being applied, so you can add xsl:choose to the body of xsl:attribute. You just need to make sure each case returns a valid value so you don't get empty attributes, something like this:

<xsl:attribute-set name="section.level1.properties">
<xsl:attribute name="break-before">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="@role = 'nobrk'">auto</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>page</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>

You cannot have it skip the attribute, but you can change its value to the default "auto"

Bob:

Thank you so much for the reply. This is exactly what I was looking for. I never thought to use a choose within an attribute set!
Now this not only solved my one issue, but has given me a tool that I can use for other issues.

Thank you!!
